The ‘Dead 7’ Trailer Left Me With 23 Questions For Nick Carter’s Zombie Western

On April 1, the Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, 98 Degrees, O-Town, and the undead will take over Syfy. Yes, on that splendid day, Dead 7 will premiere. Do not let the date fool you; this zombie western boy band bonanza is not some sort of April Fool's joke. The Nick Carter-penned, made-for-TV genre mashup is really happening. On Thursday, BuzzFeed shared the first trailer for Dead 7, and it is my fire. My one desire. Believe me when I say that that I want it that way. And by “it that way,” I mean “to watch Dead 7 today.”

If zombies and gore and cowboys aren't your jam, then the late '90s/early '00s of it all should win you over: The Dead 7 cast includes boy banders Carter, Howie Dorough, A.J. McLean, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, Jeff Timmons, Erik-Michael Estrada, Jacob Underwood, Trevor Penick, and Dan Miller. Be still my heart.

As campy and delightful and ghoulish and pop music-tastic as the trailer may be, it also raises a bunch of very important questions. I will share those questions now:

“To fight the undead, you have to resurrect ‘90s boy bands,” you say?

How literal of a resurrection are we talking?

Will Melisandre bring the ‘90s boy bands back from the dead at the beginning of the movie?

Will Jon Snow be a part of it?

Oops, have I watched the Game of Thrones Season 6 trailers one too many times?
